This premium quality tea, flavored with all-natural maple essence, is in perfect harmony. The maple does not mask the natural taste of the high-grown Ceylon tea. Many flavored teas use overpowering artificial flavors to hide a lower quality tea. Natural flavors do not leave an aftertaste, giving this tea a clean and true character. It should be noted that natural flavors tend to be somewhat 'soft,' with slightly muted flavors, but for many, this is a refreshing change and a desired attribute.

I took the word of the first reviewer who was surprised and pleased that this tea's maple flavoring did not make it too sweet. He was right, it does not taste sweet but the flavor is only a shade of maple and otherwise either chemical or natural essences that absolutely ruin the tea, make it taste medicinal, and are not maple-tasting at all. This tea, which is probably fine if it's just left alone, brings to mind flavored coffees, which I cannot stand. "There's nothing like the real thing."

A great blend of flavors.

This tea has become one of my favorites. Usually something with a maple flavor is very sweet or tastes funny. This tea has the just the right blend. It isn't light in flavor like an herbal tea nor is it strong like a Russian Caravan. Flavorful without being over bearing. I highly recommend it.
